'Tis the season of giving, and Merge Records is doing its part. The good people over in Chapel Hill have kicked off their annual holiday charity auctions, and this year they've started their drive by putting what they call a Merge Mega-Bundle up for bid on eBay. So, what exactly is a Merge Mega-Bundle? Well, it's an autographed copy of every single album that Merge released in 2006. In case you have a short memory, that includes such artists as Destroyer, Spoon, Robert Pollard (x2) and many more. All proceeds will go to Oxfam and and TROSA--a Durham, NC substance abuse recovery program. Click here to bid on the bundle, and stay tuned for more auctions soon. After the jump, you'll find the complete contents of the Merge Mega-Bundle. East River Pipe: What Are You On? Robert Pollard: From a Compound Eye Destroyer: Destroyer's Rubies The Essex Green: Cannibal Sea Lambchop: The Decline of Country & Western Civilization Part II: The Woodwind Years Camera Obscura: Let's Get Out of This Country Camera Obscura: Lloyd, I'm Ready to Be Heartbroken Portastatic: Who Loves the Sun White Whale: WWI Spoon: Telephono/Soft Effects M.

Nothing signed by Jeff Mangum? I'd definitely pony up for that.
